Having finished the binding in record time, I nervously washed and tumbled the Pips last night, for my first foray into crinkledom. Just before bed, I pulled out what I have been waiting for, for a long time - a quilt just for me! Perfect crinkles too!
The Sherbet Pips are a muted version of some of my favourite colours, and the print is probably a little 'sweeter' than I would describe my usual tastes, but there is something so relaxing about the whole collection that made me want it! And I love it, no excuses.
It measures up at 40"x 52". If you want Quilt Dad's pattern too, it's in Issue 5 of Fat Quarterly.
Gorgeous!! Really really great job, well done you :-) And enjoy it now!
ReplyDeleteWow! Fastest binder in the west, or south, or somewhere. Looks fantastic. I ordered my backing fabric having forgotten that it would be needed in the necessary steps to finishing my Pips. You are obviously a much more organised person than me!
ReplyDeleteIt turned out beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGreat job, it's a beautiful quilt - love those Pips.
ReplyDeleteOh this turned out fab! V.snuggly. Jxo
ReplyDeleteYeay, well done you! I'm not normally a pips fan, but I really like what you've done with them, binding looks fab too, good choice. If you put it in the machine, how very brave of you! I hand washed my baby quilt cos I was too chicken to risk it falling to bits!
ReplyDeleteThis looks fantastic, well done!
ReplyDeleteGreat going! I love the wide bands of fabric on the bottom (and too?) It really gives a good balance to the blocks! ( See..it didn't fall apart! LOL! )
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! :o)
ReplyDeleteYAY! You finished it! It looks great :)
ReplyDeleteYummy! Do you think you'll get to keep it, or will the girls adopt it?
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely! Have more pips on order and can't wait for it to arrive!
